So please help me, that means just because someone is member of Al-Quaida it dosn't mean that he is a terrorist? Ok so "innocent until proven guilty".

Yes, Iran should make fair and transparent trials like the US does in Guantamo bay?
Do i see a mayor shift from the War against Terror to international Justice or is it the more obvious thing..

U.S. Sees No Basis to Prosecute Iranian Opposition 'Terror' Group Being Held in Iraq
About 3,800 members of the group [Mujahedeen Khalq] are being held in de facto American custody in Camp Ashraf, about 60 miles northeast of Baghdad. The group remains on the United States terrorist list, though it is not known to have directed any terrorist acts toward the United States for 25 years. But it does stage attacks against Iran, which has demanded that the Iraqi government either prosecute its members or deport them to Iran.

In Iran, a government spokesman, Abdollah Ramazanzadeh, said any American move to grant the People's Mujahedeen protected status would undermine the United States' claims to be fighting terrorist groups. "I hope those who claim they are combating terrorism prove the truth and confront the ones who have committed extensive crimes against the Iranian nation," he said.
A senior American official said the United States opposed Iran's request that members of the group be handed over for trial because "we have real questions about the fairness and transparency of justice" there.
